SBE 16plus CTD

SBE 16plus CTD CTD stands for conductivity, temperature, and depth, and refers to a package of electronic instruments that measure these properties. The use of Sea-Bird 16plus V2 RS232 C.T.D. allow us to measure the phisycal parameters of the water with a great accuracy. A CTD device’s primary function is to detect how the conductivity and temperature of the water column changes relative to depth. Conductivity is a measure of how…
